1t is the belief OF many here that Mr.. Pow

Congressman Joseph A. Scranton next year.
These two men had little newspaper contro-
versy not long ago over the Immigration ques-
tIon in which Mr. Powderly said something that
has led some OF his acquaintance to suppose
that he would like to be put up for Congress
about the time his term as general master
workman will expire, one year hence. The re-
cent apportionment made Lackawanna county

house within several rods of it. and from the
windows approaching interviewers can be seen
for quite distance If the anxious interviewer
happens to be one that Mr.. Powderly does not
care to see it is useless for the interviewer to
try to get sight of him. Mr. Powderly has
notion that he can interview himself good deal
better than anybody can interview him, and
ever since the Cleveland convention. one year
ago last summer, he has not been so friendly to
newspaper men as he seemed to be before that

has known Mr.. Powderiy from his boyhood:

order he threatens to resign. This is all done
for effect but the great body does not know it
well as i do At Richmond last October. his
voice trembled as he told the hundreds of dele
gates that he would probably never address them
again. That was done for effect, too. and it
worked tip-top, but he has never intended to re-
sign. He will remain at the head of the Knights
until his present term is out, and when that
time comes don't believe he will consent to
run again. He likes power, but he wants to get
into another channel, and he hopes that the
workingmen will have a majority in Congress
before many years; and he would like to be at
the head of such delegation in the balls of
tonal legislation. If that IS not what he hopes
for, am much mistaken in the man."
